Perth Kilt Run

The Routes

Due to ongoing works in the Armadale City Centre, this year’s event is taking place at the Champion Lakes Regatta Centre.

This means a brand-new course around Champion Lakes, with both routes now completely wheelchair and pram accessible!

Both the 2.5km Classic and 5km Warrior courses are on flat, fully paved surfaces that serve as existing pedestrian pathways.

This year, you also can complete the Perth Kilt Run with your dog! This is the exact same route as the Classic, however, we’ll have a separate designated start time for the safety of your furry friends. Make sure you select the 2.5km Classic (with dogs) option when registering.

Kilts

The City is providing a fantastic opportunity to own your own kilt by purchasing one when you register.

All kilts are in the classic City of Armadale tartan colours of red and green. Fashioned with two belt buckles and velcro to adjust, these kilts are made of good material that will keep you warm while on the course. The kilts are measured in inches and it may be necessary to adjust within one or two sizes of your original pant size.

If you are picking up your kilt, please arrive early if you want to ensure you have the right fit.

Child kilts: $45
Adult kilts: $55
